San Diego – Former San Diego Mayor and California’s leading Republican gubernatorial candidate, Kevin Faulconer, issued the following statement in reaction to video that surfaced last night of the Oakley, Calif. school board insulting parents who wanted their schools to reopen.
“I have two kids in public schools, and I’m appalled to hear education administrators mocking and insulting the very real concerns that millions of parents are feeling right now. This out-of-touch attitude starts at the top with Gavin Newsom, who has continued to let private schools offer in-person education while erecting barriers that have locked most of California’s kids out of class. As governor I will do everything in my power to make sure our children and teachers safely return to the classroom.”

Faulconer held an in-person press conference in-front of Abraham Lincoln High School in San Francisco yesterday to advocate for the immediate reopening of California’s schools. Oakley, Calif. is a suburb of San Francisco.

It’s none of Falconer’s business. Blaming it on Newsom is transparently stupid. He just wants to score political points.
I agree robert c. Dude has been grandstanding for weeks now. Doesnt ever shut up. Dont think newsom is sll that great but am tired of hesring this guys voice
Sooooo…. are you guys in agreement with the school board? Good for Faulkner for standing up for the kids and parents who are desperate to have their normal lives back. Newsom doesn’t give a s*** about anyone who’s not a donor or lobbyist.
No, Joe, we’re not in agreement with the school board. But you can bet that Falconer doesn’t give a damn about the Oakley school district. He just wants to be governor.
